It’s important to go for regular eye exams not just to check your vision, but your overall eye health.
Myopia is when distant objects appear blurred. It often develops during childhood and can be managed with glasses, contacts, or other myopia control options.
Hyperopia makes it harder to focus on near tasks like reading or using a computer. It can affect anyone and is easily corrected with prescription glasses.
As we reach our 40s, the eye’s focusing ability naturally weakens, making it harder to read up close. Many people find reading glasses, varifocals, or multifocal contact lenses provide comfortable near vision again.
Glaucoma occurs when eye pressure damages the optic nerve, which sends visual information to the brain. It often has no early symptoms, so regular eye checks are essential to detect it in time to reduce vision loss.
High blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels that support vision, causing diabetic retinopathy. Regular diabetic eye checks help catch early changes and keep your eyes healthy.
Cataracts make the eye’s natural lens less clear, causing vision to appear blurred or hazy. They are common as we get older and can be treated successfully with routine surgery.
AMD affects your central retina, the part of the eye that captures light and sends images to the brain, making reading, recognising faces, or seeing fine details harder. Early detection and lifestyle changes can help slow its progression.
This rare, inherited condition slowly affects vision, often starting with difficulty seeing at night or reducing peripheral vision (seeing objects to your side). Regular monitoring can help manage daily life with the condition.
Small specks, lines, or brief flashes in your vision are usually harmless, but a sudden increase or new appearance could signal a problem with the retina. If this happens, it’s important to seek prompt assessment.
Blepharitis causes the eyelids to become inflamed, leading to redness, itching, or crusting along the lashes. While it can be a long-term issue, regular eyelid hygiene and treatment can keep it under control.
When your eyes feel gritty, irritated, or watery, it may be due to insufficient tear quality or quantity. Simple care routines and tailored treatments can improve comfort and protect eye health.
Keratoconus occurs when the cornea – the clear, dome-shaped front of the eye – thins and bulges, distorting vision. Specialist lenses or surgery can restore clarity in advanced cases.
